The first time you see the moon in the New Year, look at it and say,—
Whose table shall I spread?
For whom make the bed?
Whose name shall I carry?
And whom shall I marry?
Then think of one you would like to marry, and go your way. Ask some question of the first person you meet, and if the answer is affirmative, it indicates that you will marry your choice; if negative, it means you will not.
